1st Ultrasound

12.2.2017. 




Baby, I was so excited to see you. I just learned that I was carrying you just yesterday and  I was still in a joyful haze.



On this day,  your daddy and I got to see you for the 1st time.



We went to Chong Hua early in the morning and there it was confirmed we were having you. You were a small oblong on that screen but you already filled up my whole heart. We could not yet hear your heart beat but you already made my heart beat so fast in anticipation of finally getting to see you in a few months. Your estimated date of delivery was July 30. You were 5weeks and 6 days weeks in my tummy when we first saw you.



I fell inlove with you at first sight.

Mommy of 3

I am a mommy of 3.... 2 are in heaven. 😭💔 Around the end of February, several pregancy tests showed faint lines telling me that at the age of 38, I was surprisingly pregnant! Truth be told, I was worried at first, as I thought that I was quite old to carry another child. But the fear quickly turned to excitement especially when Trystyn was so thrilled to have a baby "sister". He would kiss my tummy so many times and one time when I got home from work he ran up to meet me and asked me if Baby Sister was out already! He was that excited! 💟 I was so excited I could imagine having a gender reveal during Trystyn's birthday in July and a maternity shoot for our  yearly family picture!  But on February 27, I noticed a tinge of blood in my underwear. I hurriedly messaged my doctor who told me to go on bed rest. But the spotting turned to bleeding.. 😭 I was so scared to lose my baby that I think I cried secretly almost every day. At times I tell the people in the house of my w...

The Heartbreak of Ectopic Pregnancy

It has been almost 3 years. And after almost 3 years, I can finally say I am ok. But although the pain has subsided, reading what I wrote then still broke my heart and made me cry. :(    May 20. It was when I woke up at around 5am when i first felt the pain in the lower right part of my back. Thinking it was just nothing, Wati, who was also already awake, and I decided to roam around the streets of CDO to look for a place to eat that early in the morning. While walking, the pain began to run towards my lower right abdomen, but since the pain was tolerable I just brushed it off. It was when we got back to the hotel when the pain intensified. I didn't want to bother anybody else, and thinking that  it would just subside, I tolerated the pain and told Wati that I'll just have myself checked when we get back to Cebu in the afternoon. But when the pain was already too much, and the tears won't stop falling, we decided to go to the ER of the nearest hospital we c...

Thank You, Next! (contest piece)

    One taught me love One taught me patience And one taught me pain Now, I'm so amazing Thank you, next..   Friends, fellow Toastmasters, can you think of a time when life tried to beat you down? Did you stay down? Or did you learn from that challenge,  thanked it, and got ready for the next? Ariana Grande's  song “Thank You Next” reminds us to learn from challenges as they can transform us from downtrodden to amazing.      I remember my first rush of intense, heart throbbing love when I was a young girl of 17. I met this guy who made me buy 300 peso load daily so we can text till the wee hours of the morning! It was exciting, it was exhilarating, it was EXPENSIVE! Especially for a college girl who had a very limited budget. I painstakingly ate ngohiong everyday to save up for load, coz hey I’d rather get hungry than lose him. Coz I was giddy. I was in love. Until I saw him one day, with another girl, holding her hand. Friends, believe ...
